Nampa P-38 and P-40 rally, Only 3 P-38's still flying in the world today, and only 3 P-51C's also.

Just look at that gorgeous, clear blue sky there!

High Pressure, (and cold?), I suspect!

A busy airfield in the valley, for one so remote from anywhere!...(Google Map).

Lovely, clear shots!

Paul...FS 2004... 8-)...!

Shark mouths always look best on P-40s for some reason... 8-)

A really cool set of photos, lovely clarity and sumptuous colour, all of some very cool aircraft. Lovin' it!  :D
